The half-waning moon hangs over Bincheng.
Under the sad moonlight, the black mist spread in all directions with Zhang Zhiwei as the center.
Those ordinary people who took refuge in the cellar felt a sudden chill.
Then came the sound of earth-shaking footsteps, the horrifying sound of suona, sporadic gunfire and screams...
"It's so cold. Has the weather changed? Why has it suddenly become so cold!"
"What's going on outside? Isn't it said that there are terrorists rioting? This doesn't seem like it. Whose Charge is Suona?"
Curiosity is human nature, and some people couldn't hold it any longer and secretly opened a corner of the cellar to look outside.
At this sight, everyone's heart beat violently, their hairs stood on end, and their faces were almost pale.
I saw black fog rolling on Bincheng Street. The fog was as black as a deep lake.
And in the depths of the lake, under the cold moonlight, there were huge and terrifying figures.
What is this? Yin soldiers take advantage of the passage, the Lord of Hell travels, innocent souls claim their lives, hell descends, and hundreds of ghosts walk at night...
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts appeared in their minds. These thoughts were all kinds of, but there was no such thing as rioters.
At the same time, driven by curiosity, they suppressed their fear, widened their eyes, and continued to look over, wondering what happened.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a luxurious ink-colored carriage slowly emerging from the black mist.
Not far in front of the vehicle, hundreds of Japanese pirate soldiers were fleeing in panic, with a bunch of vicious monsters chasing them behind.
The Japanese pirate soldiers who were fleeing would turn around and shoot with their guns from time to time.
However, the impact of bullets on these monsters is very limited and cannot stop their progress.
Soon, the demons and ghosts were approaching, waving their green and black ghost claws vertically and horizontally, tearing the air with their fingertips, forming a meat grinder.
The Japanese pirates were like meat in a meat grinder. After a burst of bones breaking, they turned into white bones, blood and mud and shattered on the ground.
This bloody and terrifying scene frightened those who were watching secretly. Some of them hid in the cellar again, some shivered, and some kowtowed...
And the instigator of this incident, Zhang Zhiwei, sat on the cart like a golden sword, scolded Fang Qiu, and killed the Japanese pirates.
Suddenly, he felt very weak energy fluctuations.
This energy fluctuation does not come from himself, but from the surroundings. It is very weak, very scattered, very mottled, and full of impurities.
"This is... a godhead mask. Some people believe in me, and there are many of them."
Zhang Zhiwei looked around, and then he found many figures emerging from his thoughts.
These people are old and young, men and women, but they all have one thing in common, they are praying.
The objects they pray to have different images. Some have towering crowns and solemn expressions, looking like gods. Some have wide robes and long sleeves, and wear Xie Zhi crowns on their heads, looking like the king of hell in the underworld. Some have green faces and fangs, looking like evil spirits...
But Zhang Zhiwei knew in his heart that these were all himself, the image of himself in other people's imaginations.
Although these images are very underworld, they have almost nothing to do with his own appearance.
But there is a thread connecting him to these images.
Through this line, he gained their faith and heard their prayers.
"General, bless me. I have made my own living and worked with my conscience for most of my life. Although I have achieved nothing, I have never done anything immoral!"
"Lord of Hell, please forgive me. I worked as a translator with the Japanese pirates. Although I did a lot of bad things, I never actively wanted to harm anyone. I did all this just to survive!"
"My pregnant daughter-in-law was forcibly captured by the Japanese pirates. There has been no news for several months. Uncle Ghost, if you have a spirit, please kill all these unscrupulous beasts!"
Along with these thoughts came a far greater power of faith than before.
When Zhang Zhiwei's consciousness spread, he discovered that the source of the power of these beliefs was as complex as a big network, and he was the center of this big network.
His consciousness followed the net all the way back, and he even saw the end of the net and those people praying.
These people are ordinary people and have not received Qi. The innate Qi in their bodies is overflowing all the time.
But when they were praying, the overflowing innate Qi was wrapped up by a spiritual force, coming from all directions along the big net, collected into his body, and attached to the Qi all over his body.
Because this power of faith contains various thoughts of believers, it is colorful and looks very gorgeous.
This is the power of faith collected by the practitioners of the Godhead Mask.
This power of faith contains too many desires and distracting thoughts, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it is poison.
Therefore, practitioners of the divine mask generally do not dare to put it directly into the body, and can only use external objects to carry it.
However, Zhang Zhiwei has no fear. He sits on the spiritual platform with his consciousness high and will not be disturbed by these thoughts. Moreover, he also has ways to deal with these thoughts.
With a thought in his mind, the green-blue samadhi fire erupted all over his body.
Under the training of the true fire of samadhi, the distracting thoughts in the power of faith were burned away.
After the distracting thoughts dissipated, the power of faith turned from colorful to golden, and was absorbed into the Dantian by Zhang Zhiwei.
In an instant, his cultivation progressed further.
Although this progress is not big and cannot cause qualitative changes, it is sustainable. As long as this group of people continue to believe, they will continue to harvest this power.
Moreover, he can also expand his influence and harvest more of this power for his own use.
"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. This can be regarded as a kind of revenue increase. Although it is a little troublesome and needs to be tempered by the true fire of Samadhi once, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. If it continues, it is still very impressive. Moreover, I have a hunch that new magical powers are being nurtured. Among them, it won’t be long before it is born!”
Zhang Zhiwei said to himself that he didn't pay much attention to the power of faith in the Internet. His own life cultivation always came first.
But he still cares about the supernatural powers born from the power of faith.
Unlike the rigidity of abilities acquired through practice, this magical power is unreasonable.
If there are enough people who believe in it and are pious enough, magical powers that are not inferior to the Eight Wonders may be born.
"It seems that this whim of the Hundred Ghost Night Parade was really a wise decision!"
Zhang Zhiwei muttered to himself, gathered up the scattered demons and ghosts, and continued to chase the fleeing Japanese pirates.
It is not difficult to achieve this step. Ghosts are the most vengeful things, and demons and ghosts are no exception. When they were fighting with Japanese pirates on the battlefield, the demons and ghosts had already recorded their auras, and now they were just playing hide and seek.
Tonight in Bincheng is destined to be a sleepless night and a river of blood.
at the same time.
In another part of Liaodong, the Shizikou Military Port is lined with heavy artillery. Due to its geographical location and strategic position, it is known as the "No. 1 Port of Gunpowder in the East."
As early as the previous dynasty, this was an important military port for the Beiyang Navy. At that time, Li Zhongtang attached great importance to this place. He ordered a large number of heavy artillery from the German Empire, one-third of which was arranged here to defend the port. warship.
In the battle with the Japanese pirates, although the previous dynasty was defeated, the infrastructure here was not damaged, and the heavy artillery was new.
Later, Maozi took advantage of the invasion of the coalition forces of the great powers to occupy this place, and strengthened the Shizikou Fortress based on Li Zhongtang's foundation.
Later, the Japanese pirates took over this place at the cost of huge casualties, and construction continued for more than ten years. Today, it is already an extremely modern naval base.
Now the combined fleet of Japanese pirates is stationed here.
The flagship of this fleet is the Mikasa, which made great achievements in the war with Moozi, destroying the First Pacific Fleet and the Second Pacific Fleet one after another.
At this moment, in the monitoring room in the center of the Mikasa, the results of the sonar scan were displayed on the large screen, and densely packed light spots began to rise from the bottom of the sea.
Looking at these light spots, the commander of the combined fleet, Shio Yagyu, sneered in a low voice:
"Those damn worms have started again! The first time they attacked us suddenly, and we were caught off guard, so many people died."
"We are well prepared this time. We have deployed a large number of depth charges and mines underwater. I want to see how many lives they have."
On the sonar screen, the light spots rising from the sea floor entered the area of depth charges.
In an instant, the sea surface surged, white waves rose into the sky, and a chain of explosions began.
People standing on the Mikasa could see lights flickering under the sea, as if fire was burning from below.
"Sir, those long worms seem to be quite smart. They use some insignificant little snakes to avoid thunder. Those big ones are lurking and there is almost no damage. They are about to rush to the sea now!" A Japanese pirate navy looked anxious. shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several giant green snakes jumped out of the sea in the huge waves. When they swung their tails, they were like dragons. The part above the water alone was about five or six meters long. It can be imagined that Their enormity.
The moment they emerged, the cannons on numerous ships began to pour firepower onto the sea. Huge bullets hit the giant snakes, exploding into clouds of blood.
The giant snakes were almost pushed back into the sea by the rain of bullets.
At the same time, the torpedoes of the combined fleet had been launched, leaving white water marks on the sea surface, bombarding the snakes, and bursts of fire were deafening.
Colonel Yagyu Shio held the Japanese sword at his waist tightly with both hands and stared down at the sea. Whenever a giant snake approached the ship, he would pull out the ten-meter-long sword and kill it.
As a samurai of the Yagyu family, although his sword is not as large in caliber as a naval gun, he always kills with one hit.
This is a showdown between modern firearms and alien means.
Although the Japanese pirates took the lead, the battle did not show a one-sided trend.
The Liuxians hiding under the water used Qi to control the water flow and turned into a pair of big hands, twisting the barrel of the naval gun, causing the barrel to be blocked, causing the naval gun that was spitting flames to explode and the gunner to turn into ashes.
Then, taking advantage of the reduced firepower on the ship, the Liuxians scrambled in the sea, avoiding the incoming heavy artillery, and rushed onto the ship despite the hail of bullets, starting the massacre.
As animals with Qi, the Willow Immortals possess wisdom that is not inferior to humans.
They know that they are being ambushed, so they often jump on boats, rush to kill them, and then immediately escape into the sea.
If this method is used against ordinary people, it will indeed work, but there are still Japanese pirates and strangers lurking in these ships.
Therefore, some Liu Xian rushed to the deck and were surrounded and killed, but failed to rush out.
As for Liu Kunsheng, the leader of Liuxian, he was sniped by the commander of the Japanese pirate fleet.
The commander-in-chief of the combined fleet is Yujiro Takeshita, who practices Shinto Mu-en-ryu.
Unlike Fujita, the commander of Bincheng, who had the military rank of major general, Takeshita Yujiro was a naval admiral, two ranks higher than Fujita.
At the same time, he also represents the highest level of the Japanese pirate navy.
In this world where strangers are in power, force is one of the indispensable conditions for being able to sit in this position, otherwise you will not be able to hold on to the situation.
For example, Zhao Fangxu of the Mitutong Company in later generations was able to secure his position mainly because it was a peaceful era, and everyone was willing to give the company a face and let you use your methods.
And in the war years, it was a life-or-death situation. People sent assassins to kill you with all their strength. How could an ordinary person resist?
In the battle of Mianshan, even the Biheshan ninja, who was quite advanced in cultivation and proficient in the art of assassination, could not stop the Tang clan's assassination. If it were an ordinary person, how many times would he have to die?
Therefore, most of the great generals in ancient times were super masters, and even some emperors were, such as Genghis Khan and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty.
At this moment, a fierce battle between Navy Admiral Takeshita Yujiro and Liu Kunsheng was in full swing.
In his hand was a legendary Japanese weapon, Doji Kiri.
The reason why it is called this does not mean "a child's knife".
But because it once killed Shuten Doji, the great demon king of the Heian period.
This is a knife with a very strong killing intent. Regardless of its uncanny degree, in terms of killing power alone, it is even stronger than Hirudan.
This sword has been collected by the emperor. The reason why it was sent to Takeshita Yujiro this time was to allow him to better control the upcoming king of demons.
However, Takeshita Yujiro did not expect that the first battle with this sword in his hands would be against the great monster of China.
Takeshita Yujiro held the sword in both hands, the simple blade glowed with red light, and the boy's sword vibrated like a ghost.
Opposite him, Liu Kunsheng roared and ran wildly. The dragon and the snake were quick to respond, bursting out with unimaginable speed.
"Boom!"
The air exploded, and it broke through the sound barrier, fighting Yujiro Takeshita head-on. Amidst thunderous sonic booms, the two sides continued to fight.
…………
…………
Early the next morning.
After the gunpowder smoke in Bincheng cleared, countless people crawled out of the cellars. Bincheng, where hundreds of ghosts walked all night, regained its vitality again.
It’s just that life does not belong to the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirate railway garrison in the city, the predecessor of the Japanese pirate flower, was almost completely killed during the demonic cleanup last night.
At this moment, in a forest on the outskirts of the city, Zhang Zhiwei looked at the twenty or thirty remaining demons and ghosts behind him, thinking about what to do.
I’m finally done with my work. I’ll resume updating tomorrow and start saving articles for updates. Thank you readers for your support! !
